How fast are they comapred to the WD SE drives and how much are they?

 

[Viper GTS]

They're nice drives, we have one in our server.

There are three WD SE drives in my apt right now (2 1200JB's and one 2000JB).

My next drive will be one of WD's rumored 10K RPM 8 MB cache SATA drives.

If they actually are produced, of course.

I'm going to rip all my CDs to CCD files and use Virtual Daemon Manager to emulate CD drives.

[Moonbeam]

Retail. Costs $300 then there's a $120 rebate. So about $200 with tax is what I'm paying.

I'm gonna backup important data on my 80gb Seagate .

 

[RU482]
